I'm A Wheel

Just got back from Indianapolis. Indiana that is. Went out at the last minute to surprise my boy Tracy for his 30th birthday. He didn't have a clue I was coming, and his wife picked me up at the airport. I rang the doorbell and his exact words were, "what the f8ck?" I'm not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but he definitely was surprised.

One of the bonuses of going out there was to catch yet another Wilco show. If they are still playing 30 years from now, I'm we'll be going 30 years from now, and hopefully we'll be draggin' D and B with us.

Of course, it was a great show. Every Wilco show is a great show. It wasn't the best I've seen (and definitely not the cheapest), but it was a hell of a lot of fun.

Now, I'm back in Denver. Sitting outside in the ol' courtyard and drinking a beer while the sun goes down. It was fun to see the McGills. They are definitely on the right track I'm happy to report. The two little ones are cute as hell too.

Well, I've committed to getting a little more organized with my training early this year. At least, that is what I've talked about with Coach Phil. After we got of the phone, however, it seemed like I'm not doing things too much different than in previous years. It's just going to be a little more structured. I guess that means I'll be laying off the booze a little earlier this year. I guess I should say a little more a little earlier. I can't see myself not being liquored/beered/wined up on Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday after all. Food and booze. What more could you ask for?

I did manage to get my ass off the couch last weekend for a 'cross race. I was pretty happy with it considering I never have big aspirations for that discipline. It's just something I do to get me motivated to get out and exercise some this time of year and to keep from putting on too many L-Bs. Anyway, it seemed like I carried over a small amount of bike fitness, but there was a lot of running. I definitely don't have that snap in my legs yet. Considering how much crap I've been eating and how much beer I've been imbibing, I did pretty decent.

I guess that is about it for now. I'm going to try to update this thing a little more frequently.
